QuaDror // Standardidation = User Flexibility

In today's lecture Yasu mentioned the idea of standardisation to provide user flexibility. This caught my eye, as I had previously been reflecting upon possible ways of creating something "standardised" that could then be adapted to each individual site (when it moves from one to the other). I had been thinking about creating a modular or "grid-like" system whereby individual elements could be "plugged in" to provide different spatial configurations in different scenarios. One example given today, that I found particularly inspiring, was the "QuaDror" structural support system: a modular system that can be multiplied and can suit a variety of different applications and configurations. This sort of modular system is also a great way to encourage user participation, which I think would be a positive thing in the situation of refugees, as their involvement in the construction process could help make them feel like they have contributed to society in some way.
